Has Lorne gone on to hosts the Big Karaoke Bar in the sky? It's confirmed. :(

There were two brief Whdeonesque articles (since removed) that said Andy Hallet had died. I hope not.

Andy Hallett, 33, who starred as Lorne ("the Host") on the TV series Angel, died of heart failure last night at age 33, according to his agent. The actor passed away at Cedars-Sinai Hospital after a five-year battle with heart disease.

Hallett, from the Cape Cod village of Osterville, Mass., appeared on more than 70 episodes of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff, Angel, between 2000 and 2004. The accomplished actor was also a musician and sang two songs ("Lady Marmalade" and "It's Not Easy Being Green") on the Angel: Live Fast, Die Never soundtrack, released in 2005.

More details to come shortly...

Pay your final respects to the actor in the comments below.

Oh my...Tim had just posted, the other day the unforgettable scene where Joss plays Lorne's brother 'dancing the dance of joy'...he needs to now do the 'dance of sorrow'.

Angel's currently making the rounds in Pylea right now on TNT. They just aired the ep where they find out Cordy's the queen. I don't know if I missed Andy's singing that prompts a townie to yell "it burns, it burns!" That and his head talking on the silver platter.

Andy always seemed like such a lovely soul.

RIP, Andy.

You know a guy was well-loved when there is hardly any snark in his death thread.

We 'just' got into Angel in it's last season, so we knew him best from those eps. *snuffle*

I remember when there was a push by fans to not cancel Angel, and Andy was supposed to be at an event, and had to cancel for health reasons. We knew he was sick....he must have been on Tim's mind, cuz Tim had just posted the little snippet of the 'Dance of Joy' the day before on his facebook. Now he's got a memorial vid up. 33 is just too darn young.
